“Advising others to be humane is certainly not covering it up.”
It is when you use “humane” as a euphemism for not reporting them to the police.
“Paterno put the ball into their hands. What did they do with it???”
Nothing, they all decided to do nothing together.
I have heard the word used all the time but never as that euphemism. Freeh will have to do better than that.
“Paterno put the ball into their hands. What did they do with it???”Nothing, they all decided to do nothing together.
By "all" you mean Curley, Spanier, and Schultz who he handed the ball off to, right??? And surely they atleast took it to the Chief of the Penn State University Police, right??? They did contact the Chief of the University Police as they did in 1998, didn't they??? Here's a refresher:
The victim's mother reported the 1998 incident to campus police. According to the Freeh report, then-Police Chief Thomas Harmon told University Vice President Gary Schultz: "We're going to hold off on making any crime log entry. At this point in time I can justify that decision because of the lack of clear evidence of a crime."
In 2001, graduate assistant Mike McQueary saw the sexual assault and told football coach Joe Paterno, who told Athletic Director Tim Curley, who subsequently consulted with Schultz and university President Graham Spanier. No one ever went to police.
"Paterno, Curley and McQueary were obligated to report the 2001 Sandusky incident to the University Police Department for inclusion in Clery Act statistics and for determining whether a timely warning should be issued to the University community. No record exists of such a report," the Freeh report said.

The fact that no record of such a report exists doesn't mean that the report was never made to the Chief of the University Police. That's Freeh's euphemism for "they were made but we can't find them". See the darkened area above for proof.
Funny how reports are never be made in the first place and records just happen disappear, like those of the District Attorney in the 1998 investigation along with himself in 2005.
